Both Divisional games were exciting as all four teams battled it out for their respected Divisional Championship.
In the A Division Fred Just Motors and Hawkins Cheezies went at it head to head. The game was outstanding as both goalies Stephanie S.for Fred Just Motor's and Sydnie C. for Hawkins Cheezies made spectacular saves for their respected clubs. Hawkins Cheezies played their best against Fred Just Motors. Fred Just Motors defeated Hawkins Cheezies with a score of 4-1. Stephanie S. stood her ground against Hawkins Cheezies allowing only one goal. While her counterpart Sydnie C. allowed 4 goals against a bombardment of shots on her.
In the First period Haley J. of Fred Just Motors scored at the 9: 58 mark from a pass from Maureen L. and Taylor P.

Thus giving Fred Just Motors a 4-0 lead. But the Hawkins Cheezies team would not go down without a battle. At the 10:36 of the third period Hawkins Cheezies forward Megan C. scored with assists going to Cassie B. and Regan M.
In the B Division it was a solid, fast pace game. The teams, State Farm Insurance and ScotiaBank fought it out like two race horses racing for the finish line. Again, the Goalies of the game deserve the credit for a remarkable game. Stephanie S. played for ScotiaBank and Sydnie C. for State Farm Insurance. For whom they made spectacular saves during two and third periods.
The game turned out to be all it could be and more, with the play going back and forth. It took three periods before a goal was scored in the game. It came at the 11:27 mark of the periods as Halie B. scored from a pass from Elicia W. The ScotiaBank bench erupted in joyous momentum as the puck slide over the goal line. The reason you may ask is simple for the ScotiaBank team had only won 3 games the whole season. They fought State farm and they brought it all to win this final with heroic plays. Congrats to ScotiaBank on a well deserve win.
